Lucky for Life Draw Game’s $25,000 a Year for Life 2nd Prize Proves to Be Second to None!

October 11, 2013 -- On October 10, the “New England Lucky for Life®” lottery draw game had its fourth $25,000 a year for life 2nd prize win since the new game began on September 19. Last night’s “Lucky” 2nd prize win occurred on a winning ticket sold in Massachusetts, but Arthur Bedard of Canton, CT, knows exactly what it feels like to win a “For Life” 2nd prize that is second to none.

“It was surreal, knowing that I had a [2nd prize] winning ticket,” Bedard told CT Lottery officials after claiming his $25,000 a year for life prize for matching five of the Lucky for Life winning numbers drawn on September 30. “I scanned my ticket in the Ticket Checker three times,” said Bedard with a laugh. “Seeing the second prize displayed was overwhelming!”

The winning Lucky for Life numbers drawn on October 10 were 6 - 13 - 23 - 30 - 42 with the Lucky Ball number, 28. Across New England, 45,254 winning Lucky for Life tickets were purchased for that date, including the one $25,000 a year for life 2nd prize ticket sold in Massachusetts. Of that total, 14,739 winning tickets were sold in CT.
